Tbh, that's pretty much the only thing Youtube did in the last few years that I can't really complain about. I despise their business tactics, but using your VPN to get regional prices just fucks it up for everyone. In first world countries, it's one or two hours of work. The same price in poor countries would be up to a monthly wage, that's why it costs them less. Abusing this will only end in most companies removing regional differences and blocking VPNs completely.

There are other methods to get the same functionality, use them instead of creating problems for others.

I get what you are saying, but I just can't get too upset about it in this case for some reason.
